Figure 3: Typical arrange- ment for speakers in a THX home theater. For best results, place the surround speakers within the shaded areas. Note that the surround speakers are marked Left and Right. It is important that the speakers be placed correctly for proper imaging.
Mounting
The Model 371 LR and Model 374 SR speakers can be mounted in a variety of ways:
On the wall. To surface mount your speakers on the wall, we have provided two steel keyhole brackets already installed on the back panel of the cabinet. Simply place the large openings of the bracket over the heads of
On optional pedestal stands. The pedestal stands are provided with complete instructions and all necessary hardware required for installation. These stands allow placement flexibility and a stable base for a variety of floor surfaces, including deep pile carpeting. The height of the pedestal stand is matched to the speaker for optimum performance.
Positioning the Speakers
Place the Model 371 LR Front Speakers to the left and right of the TV screen. All of the System 370 THX speakers, except for the 374 SR surround speakers, are magnetically shielded and will not interfere with the video image. The left front and right front speakers should be far enough apart that you get a good stereo image, but not so far apart that the sound seems distant and distracting. Avoid placing the speakers too close to a corner or too close to the TV, and try to maintain an equal distance from the screen on both sides.
